If you want to smoke on a flight to the Bahamas, chartering is the only realistic way to do it, and finding the right aircraft is a matter of asking early.
Aircraft owners are as particular about their aircraft as they are about their homes and cars, and each aircraft carries its own policy on what is and is not permitted on board. Some allow smoking. Most do not. None of that is visible from a price list, which is why it is a conversation rather than a checkbox.
Matching the Aircraft to the Preference
Let your advisor know at the quoting stage, before anything is booked. If your preference is a cigar, a pipe or a cigarette in flight, we will go and look for an aircraft whose owner permits it. Because we do not own aircraft, we can search the whole market rather than offering whatever is in one hangar.
It works the other way too. If you or anyone traveling with you has a tobacco or smoke allergy, or simply wants a cabin that has never been smoked in, tell us and we will factor that into which aircraft we put forward.
Why Notice Matters
Smoking-permitted aircraft are a small subset of the market, and a smaller one again on any given date and route. On a Bahamas trip you are already working within the aircraft that suit the airport at the island end, so adding a smoking requirement narrows things further. Tell us early and we can usually make it work.
The Rest of the Trip
Every flight between the United States and the Bahamas is international, so every passenger needs a valid passport, and your first landing has to be at a designated airport of entry.
Flying privately means the aircraft is chosen around what you want, not the other way round. Tell us what you need and we will do the looking. Request a quote.
